The Rush Goes Bravery on.

1t was found necessary at several times
yesterday to again close the doors of
Cowhick & Whitcomb's store until such
time as the clerks could dispose of the
rush. The store was kept open last even
ing from half past I to half past 9
o'clock to accommodate people who are
anxious to secure bargains, but are un.
able to visit the store in the day time.
The sales yesterday were heavier than on
the previous day.
The Cowhick & Whitcomb sale has be-
come tow talk. Many people are taking
advantage of the opportunity afforded
them to secure bargains in goods which
they will not require until later in the sea-
sou. 1t is probable that the store will be
kept open one other evening this week.
Those who are waiting for the rush to
subside in order to make their purchases
will have some time yet to wait before
they can be accommodated. They should
try to get the cream of the bargains.

Louis Casper and W. r. Swan were
yesterday engaged in placing in position
the new MILESTONE automatic telegraphic
instrument at the Western Union office.
The machine is very intricate and re-
quires considerable skill to properly ma
~nipulate it. They are used only in large
offices or points where kilograms have to
be repeated, as is the case here. 1t is
computed the instrument performs the
work of four operators by the Morse sys-

Alderman Moroney introduced an or
dinance extending the time for the com
pletlon of the street railway to four
months and changing the route SO that
the sixth route would commence at
the intersection of Capitol avenue and
Fifteenth street, thence north on Capitol
avenue to Sixteenth street, thence west
to Ferguson street, thence north to Nine
teenth street, thence dividing into two
branches, the first branch to run east on
Nineteenth street to Capitol avenue,
thence north to Twenty-fourth street.
thence east to the western boundary of
the city cemetery; the second branch to
continue north on Ferguson street from
Nineteenth to Twentieth street, thence
west to O'Neil street. Under a suspen-
sion of the rules the ordinance was passed
by a vote of s to 3. Alderman Altman
protested against its adoption, stating
that property holders along the proposed
line should be consulted before any action
was taken in the premises. Aldermen
Hunt and Griffin agreed with him and
voted accordingly.
This action on the part of the Street
Railway company amounts to at least a
temporary abandonment of the Eddy
street and Capitol venue routes as or
iginally planned. The object of the COM
pany now appears to be to reach the cap
itol building and fair grounds at an early
date in order to be in readiness for the
coming fair and the next session of the
legislature. One alderman remarked last
evening that the change of route would
benefit Ferguson street to the detrimcnt of
Eddy street, an assertion which is self ev
ident, though the company will probably
eventually extend il branch northward on
the latter thoroughfare. When ap.
preached upon the subject last evening
Mayor Riner laughingly remarked that
he had not signed the ordinance yet. +"
The fact still remains, however, that
Cheyenne needs a street railway badly,
and every one admires the pluck and firm
ly believes in the good intentions Of the
promoters OF the enterprise.
President of the Council Draper
moved that an invltation be extended to
President Cleveland and wife to visit
Cheyenne on their western tour. The
suggestion was enthusiastically and unan
imously adopted by the council.
The city attorney was requested to fur
nish a legal opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY
Of furnishing deeds to owners of
certain property purchased by the occu-
pants at a tax sale of unknown property.

Tia HESSIAN FLY.
EXPERIMENTS To FIND RESIST.
ANT GRAIN VARIETIES.
Information of Interest ana Value
to Grain-growers-S Further
Reports Desired and Needed.

Some very interesting experiments and
observations have been liz progress at the
Agricultural Experiment Station at Berke-
ley, to ascertain what grains will resist the
attacks of the Hessian fly. In a report
just issued by Professor E. j. Wickson this
account of the work is given:
In Bulletin No Sof the University Ex-
pertinent Station ISSUED October 8, 1856
is given sketch of the results of an ex-
pertinent made in 1886 to test the resist
ance of large collection of grain varieties
to the attacks of the Hessian fly (Cecidomyia
destructor). The annual report for 1886,
which is now nearly ready for distribution,
will contain fuller account of the same
experiment For the purpose of verifying
the results of last year, and at the same
time to determine other points in view
the full collection of cereals was resown in
1887, on the same fly-infested ground. In
addition TO the varieties sown last year
there were a number of new sorts, some
selected with special reference to their
supposed resisting quality.
The present announcement is for the
purpose of giving early notice of the va.
rieties which gave best results, and in some
cases to compare the outcome of two years
trial. A full consideration of other points
involved in the experiment will be re.
served for the next annual report. The
folio wing table gives the behavior of Ger.
tain varieties of wheat under attack by
the Hessian fly:

With regard to the data in this table it
should be stated for the benefit of the gen.
eral reader that roots having an average of
10 per cent. of cane sugar and purity CO.
efficient of so (that is, so per cent of cane
sugar in the total solid contents of the
juice would be considered fair workable
material by the sugar-maker But higher
sugar per cent. in the Juice may offset
lower degree of purity, and rice rerSd
1t will be noted that the average of the
three first lots Qeaving out o. considera-
ton lot l, B) is Ill per cent. of sugar
with purity coeficient of S14 they
are therefore amply within the limits
stipulated by the sugar-maker. As
for lot l, B, the fact that the roots had be-
gun to throw out seedstalks shows at once
that they had passed beyond the limits
within which the crop should have been
harvested. ] conjecture that this growth
had been started by untimely irriga-
ton. As for lot 4, although it shows 4
somewhat higher sugar percentage than
No. 8, its lower purity coefiicient would
nevertheless render it less desirable as it
stands; but the appearance of the root
suggests in this case, also, that the proper
time for harvesting had passed by.
Considering that the persons growing
these beets were without experience in the
premises, that, in fact, irrigation has prob
ably never been before applied to the pro-
ductlon of sugar beets; and that the right
time and the proper amount must in this
case be considered as at least equally as
important as in the case of wine grapes,
the results thus obtained are exceedingly
encouraging. They imply that in middle
California the working campaign for sugar
beets can very probably be extended
through the months of June, July and
August, making it reach from June 1st
to February LIST; and considering that the
beets OF the first lot had already passed
their best condition by a week or
two, and that with somewhat improved
arrangements for the preservation of
the late-grown beets they can probably
be carried to the middle of February,
We can foreshadow the possibility of
such an extraordinary feat as an eight
months campaign of beet-sugar
factory, running on fresh beets. With
the additional possibility of utilizing beets
sliced and dried under the same conditions
as the rasin crop, the full twelve-month
may ultimately be called into requisition.
1t must, however, be remembered that
in order to realize such results, it must be
feasible to bring the beets of the San Joa-
quin valley and those of the coast valleys
within reach of one and the same factory
plant. The roots will not bear rail
road transportation to any distance
but with cheap water transportation it
might be feasible to let the crops of Fresno
and MERGED start up the factories To-
Gated in the bay region, in June, and to
keep them running until the middle of
region.
1t is to be hoped that more extended
and carefully guarded experiments will be
made the coming season, even if the omis-
sion of Congress to render the experiment
station bill effective by means of an APP
preparation should not be made good in
time.

an athlete While in Washington his
only exercise was walking, and as he be-
lieyed that it was the pace rather than the
distance which tells, when opportunity
offered he would 60 at rate that amazed
beholders. Some persons attempting to
join and keep up with him only succeeded
by taking an occasional hop, skip and
jump, such as children practice when
walking with their parents. Up to the
time of his injuries he walked much in
Washington, for, as he said, he could out
walk omnibuses and give them long odds.
He was hardly aware of his enormous
strength, it was SO seldom called into ex-
ercise. His books were packed in large
boxes at the end of each session and sent
from his rooms to the capitol, only to be
returned at the beginning of the next ses-
sion. These boxes weighed nearly FIVE
hundred pounds each, and were difficult to
handle in passages and stairways, and so
were accompanied by four men. Once
when he was living at the Rev. DR.. Samp-
sons, one of these heavy boxes got stuck
in the stairway. 1t could be extricated
without damage to the walls only by lift
ing it over the banister The four men
failed to apply their strength to the most
advantage, for they got in each others
way, and thus failed to move the box.
The Senator, hated and gloved, ready to
80 out, came TO the stairs
"Why don't you lift it over the rail ~
said he.
Glow can we?' answered one "You
have no idea of its weight"
Let me try" said the Senator, and
leaning over the rail he seized the rope
beckett at the end of the box and lifted the
latter clear of its entanglements by one sure
pull, splitting his glove, however, across
the back. The men were amazed and he
little embarrassed, said, 81 didn't mean
to lift it, only to try its weight" and then
went back for fresh gloves.-A. B. johnson
